Evidence Informed
Our research informs recommendations for our programs that would contribute to improved reintegration outcomes for everyone we serve.
Drawing from scholarly research in social-organizational psychology, developmental psychology, social work, leadership development, and related fields, we’re on the journey to track down answers to questions related to military identity, social reintegration, and women veteran’s health.
Our research interests below represent a starting point, check back in as we post our published works:
